00:00Connor and Sam Leandro. Hi Connor. Thanks for calling. Hey guys. Hey guys, what's going on? Thanks for
00:06Thanks for having me on. Listen, um, I think that
00:11What everyone is upset about it in five and five?
00:13I think it would everyone is upset about is actually the window. I think that we're in a place
00:19I know that we're we're supposed to ignore the possibility that windows are a real thing
00:22But I think it's not only affecting the fans. I think it may be affecting the players
00:26I did did Christine McCaffrey being injured close our window and so that means to me
00:32I think that the next move that we need to make after the disastrous offseason of playing really really, you know difficult bargaining
00:39Um, I think you try a new approach Brock the way that you did demo
00:43I think you look for a team friendly quarterback deal you do what you can with guarantees
00:47you do what you can with no trade clauses and you try to come under the
00:51AAV of deck because I think everyone recognizes that
00:55Brock's salary poses a real threat for the possibility that we can retool on the fly after a
01:02Super Bowl hangover and so if Brock is down because the fact is we're still not out of this
01:08But we need a real surge and we actually may need to look at the 800 pound gorilla
01:13That's in the room and take it on. I mean nothing would change everything about this
01:19Franchise everything about what everyone thinks it's going in the next year or two if we got what we needed
01:24Which is an acknowledgment that mr. Irrelevant should absolutely get paid
01:28but the fact is that that that's contract is a
01:32An albatross for the Cowboys and we don't need that same thing
01:36So if Brock can meet us in the middle the real innovation here would be for the first time a quarterback contract
01:42That doesn't pose a real threat to your overall salary cap possibility
01:49Yeah, Connor. I'm really glad you brought this up
01:51The only thing I'll refute is what you said there at the end that maybe for the first time
01:56There'll be a contract that doesn't take down the rest of the roster wouldn't be the first time and in fact if you really
02:03Wanted to have a cool conversation about this
02:06I think that we can start it right now, and here's the question we keep going
02:12Are they gonna give him 60 are they gonna give are they really gonna do it?
02:16The bottom line is is he's their quarterback and quarterbacks are super expensive
02:21And I don't really even care if it's 55 or 58 or 50 or 62 whatever
02:27Yeah, it's all really big and if his agent does want to scream on a tabletop
02:31He's better than Dak and Dak make 60 he has a point. He has a point. He's better than Trevor Lawrence
02:38He's better than Dak Prescott those contracts are 55 and 60 does he want to play it that way?
02:44Maybe I don't know
02:46But here's what I would say the evidence is starting to mount and I think this will happen at the wide receiver position, too
02:53The evidence is starting to mount that somebody I don't know if it'll be Brock
02:58but some quarterback needs to walk into the room and
03:03Break the mold and realize
03:06that
03:07Patrick Mahomes is
03:09Not at the top of the market Josh Allen is not at the top of the market Tom Brady
03:15Always took a little bit less
03:18The quarterback himself has so much power
03:21But he also has the power to burst the bubble and maybe the players union will hate him
03:26But you know what he can do with that hate he can turn it into Super Bowl wins. I
03:33Think that certain quarterbacks and Brock might be the perfect guy because he makes a million dollars a year
03:39So if he's making 50, that's a 50 X raise exactly
03:43So does he want to twist the Niners for 60 or does he literally want to go in there?
03:49The second this season ends and go hey look I'm healthy. Let's do this
03:55Let's make me a made man for life. But hey Niners. Let's also make sure that this team
04:03Continues to be really good. I'll take 45. Yeah, but I don't know if he'll do it
04:08Yeah, I don't know what's also ahead for these next. What do we got seven games left?
04:13I don't know what's around the bend. This guy goes and wins in Green Bay and Buffalo all sudden
04:18You're gonna start having different conversation. Sure. So he's currently sitting
04:2314th and quarterback rating in the NFL. It's been like a regression. It's been a regression this year
04:29I guess you could use that word last year. He was bananas. He was so good
04:33He was top five in the MVP, right? But again, as I said earlier, I to me all of these things
04:38Why is Jared Goff through the roof? Is he a better player or is he on a better team both?
04:43He's on a better team is Brock a worse player or is he on a worse team?
04:46And yes, the quarterback bears a lot of responsibility for that, but not by himself
04:50You know if you want to just play quarterback rating, where's my homes my homes is 20th 20th
04:56Yeah, 20th, and they're not one. Yeah, you know so like
05:01He's down there with
05:02CJ Stroud, I think oh Nick
05:04Yeah
05:05The concept of like the Niners moving on from Brock for me non-starter
05:10Right and for me the idea of him taking less
05:13Then he can possibly get is a non-starter as well because this is his first contract
05:18And so I understand that going from 1 million a year to 45 1 to 50
05:23That is a gigantic leap that is beyond anyone's imagination
05:28But if the market dictates that he can get 57, then he's going for 57
05:33I believe maybe but that's a guy who's going for his second deal that might be ripe to make that sort of a
05:39Sacrifice, I don't know like I really don't know how he's gonna play it
05:43I mean if you're a QB, and you're like I do love it here. I do want to play for Kyle Shanahan
05:48I do want us to win you know and and and like I don't know
05:52What is the difference really like maybe he will twist their arm for top dollar maybe he won't
05:59Maybe I really like I don't know and it all depends on
06:03Really the guaranteed at signing number
06:05So maybe he settles for 45 million a year fully guaranteed at signing and it depends on how they finish if they write the playoffs
06:12That changes the conversation doesn't it it does but to your point if he is the guy and they've made it pretty clear that he's
06:19The guy then there's a certain market rate for quarterbacks
06:22Unless he wants to you know voluntarily give a cut
06:25But it's not up to the player to make things right for them financially and even if he did that
06:31There's no guarantee that they're gonna take that money in and go ahead and spend it and build around them
06:36They have the number one most cap room right now
06:40Right now yeah, and they're gonna spend some of that over to next year for this contract
06:44But I don't know man
06:45It just it's a living breathing thing like we all think in this moment that Jared Goff is better than Dak Prescott
06:51But just a few weeks ago. He took eight million less. Yeah, then Dak Prescott. Why I don't know
06:57That's what the rate was at that moment right him
06:59And he's like he likes where he is and he doesn't want to move and it's a second contract
07:03He's made a lot of money
07:04He's got the opportunity to you know, maybe make that sacrifice a little bit more readily
07:09So it's a gonna be a conversation fascinating one for the offseason
07:13But for right now, it really comes down to how do you fix it and Brock has not been great
07:19But he's not at the top of my list of problems at all. Not at all eight eight nine five seven nine five seven
07:24We're gonna keep going with the phones, but we got an update granny. What's going on?
07:27I'll Shanahan is addressing the media right now
07:29We will play it for you in its entirety coming up in just a little bit but a couple of injury updates on Nick Bosa
07:34Oblique injury. He has not been ruled out for this coming week
07:37They're gonna evaluate him as the week goes along says Kyle Shanahan and an interesting addition to the injury report Brock
07:44Purdy right shoulder soreness. He is day to day
07:47Look great right shoulder soreness. He did get hit in the hand on the throw. Yep. I don't know if that was it or
07:54I don't know that might have been he didn't get hit too many times
07:59Although he likes to dive when he scrambles
08:02I'd like to see a slide in there BP, but he likes to die for that extra yard or two
08:06I mean, that's the only way they're getting first downs right now is Brock running around to get it and scramble touchdown, too
08:12Okay, that's it. I and I would I would translate the Bosa thing is that's really good news. That's the best news
08:18You could have heard. Yeah, he was asked later a follow-up and again
08:21We'll hear it in a little bit. Is there a possibility Bosa plays in Green Bay and Shanahan said?
08:25Yes, there's a possibility that Brock doesn't I don't know if that was possibly. Yeah, I
08:31Mean, I don't even know if we're gonna be alive bound totally
08:35And I would imagine that
08:36Right shoulder so possibly on a Monday after a Sunday football game that makes sense
08:42And I can't well, I mean, I can't imagine that he doesn't play
08:46I also look at the Nick Bosa situation where not only did he go out of the game early in the second half
08:53But he immediately was like taking the tape off and so he was hurt hurt. He couldn't move
08:58He tried one more play and he could like he took one step and he took the play off
09:02I wrote it down. He opened up with a sack
09:05Bosa sack and I put hurt question mark and then Walker runs for five both out
09:10Yeah
09:10That was the play where he tried to get after him and he immediately started
09:14Hopping and limping and he'd wave into the sideline. He's hurt
09:16And so that's actually that's great news for them to come back the next day and be like well
09:21We're gonna take it day by day
09:22Doesn't mean he's going to play but the fact that they're not ruling him out right away
09:27I don't know
09:28I take that as probably about as good of news as you could have gotten him today
09:32Yeah, definitely and it's an oblique injury unless it's a tear if it's just you know pain tolerance and maybe it's a question for
09:39Doc Pandia tomorrow about like can you inject that good good stuff into an oblique is an oblique injury like that?
09:47Something that the needle can help. I don't know. I don't know
09:50I mean here there's also a mobility issue pain tolerance and mobility had no mobility, right?
09:55He could not you know what?
09:57I mean and and and something that small can rob a pass rusher of everything
10:02They've got that first step that push off. That's everything, right?
10:06It's everything and it doesn't have that you got to be able to get that dip around the corner
10:10You know, and I end up one is exactly I knew it you turn gross mottos good game
10:16Yes, yeah, he's good as we go back to the phones. I wanted to get that out
10:19My daughter called him gross mottos, which was fun. That's pretty cool. Who's gross mottos
10:24Like it's gross mottos and he's back
